Standard Solar, Inc., announced it will design and install a 3.6-megawatt (MW) solar system for the Town of Stafford, Conn. The project will feature three arrays: two located at Stafford Middle School (1.3 MW each) and a 954-kW array at the town’s landfill. Comprised of 11,780 panels, the virtual net-metered system will offset all of the school’s electrical usage and most of the Town’s other municipal buildings.

“The town has recognized the value of energy independence and formulated a plan to get the town to a net zero energy goal. Over the years we have been implementing this plan and are finally seeing it realized. This large 3.6 MW solar system, along with our geothermal project, was the last part of that vision,” said Town First Selectman Richard Shuck.
